Using 3D and Flyover views

- Let's look at two other ways to view maps.…I'm currently looking at a view of Ventura, California…in the standard map view.…I'm going to tap the Info button…and here I'll select 3D Map.…That shifts the view of the map…slightly from looking directly down…to more of a bird's eye view…where we can see a little bit into the distance.…By touching two fingers to the screen…and dragging up and down,…I can tilt on that axis…to see further into the distance.…Now this actually looks a little bit better…in Satellite View, so let's switch to that view.…

And now when I drag with two fingers up and down,…I can see a lot further into the distance.…While in this 3D View, you can also rotate…with two fingers to look in different directions…and then you can drag with one finger…to scroll around the map.…Tap the Info button and then tap 2D Map…to return to the top-down view.…Again, if you find that you're not…oriented with north at the top of the screen,…you can tap the compass button to reorient the map.…Another and faster way to switch between the 2D and 3D views…
